Day 2 was by far the most gruelling day on our trek. Up at 5am, we left the camp before 6 and began our acsent from 2800 to 4200m up over a period of 5 hours, followed by a 2 hour descent down steep stairs to our camp site, which was located in a really nice area with a lot of other groups. Only 5 people did not have porters for this day, 3 being us, and that turned out to make it and extremely difficult climb. However the Snickers bar at the top in the pouring rain tasted like heaven. Lunch and dinner in the camp were both delicious, cheesy chicken and lomo saltado, and we were all due a long sleep and a good nights rest.
